5.1.5. A11: Implications and applications

Throught this assignment we start the research of the topic that we want to focus on or final project. In my case, i started my invenstigation about feathers.

Feathers are known as one of the most impressive biological structures found in animals. These evolutionary appendages composed of tiny keratin structures aid birds in flight, protection, insulation, and communication. Beyond aviary animals, the dynamic and varied beauty of feathers is what has captivated the world, with plumage being used as a fashion adornment for millennia. Yet the history behind feathers has slowly shifted from one that tells the story of native cultures and periods of history, to one that brings into question the evolution of sustainability in fashion.

For the final project prototype, my ambitious goal was to make a classic party dress, but made with my feathers.
